Sample questions:

  • How would I approach a parent (s) on my team who are loud and not honoring the game by yelling things at the other team and the umpires?
  • I want to balance my players playing time, but some are just simply a lot better than others. How would I set my lineup so everyone feels they contributed, while still allowing my better players time to help us get the win?
  • I’m worried that during games my younger players get caught up in the moment and can’t seem to get past certain plays that effect them all game long. What’s a good way to let them know a mistake is OK and we need to move on?
